Food Managers are going to have to start enforcing proper hand washing.

The most important method in preventing the transmission of food borne or blood borne pathogens, to yourselves or others is proper hand washing!! Quit spreading shit around people. That’s gross and irresponsible. Being a food service professional requires doing the job right.

City of Austin Food Handler Program

Food must be obtained from reputable and verified suppliers, stored at the correct temperature, and in the right manner, with no source of contamination. It must be prepared on properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized surfaces, cooked to the proper temperature, and presented honestly to the public with allergen information and unsafe issues exposed on the menu. Issues with an employee which could have adverse affects on food safety promptly addressed by the management. But this takes a credible food manager to ensure that this is done properly. The manager must actively manage the restaurant.

Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Food Handler Program

The Food Handler Education and Training Program is a law. It is based on a senate bill regarding the certification of basic food safety education and training programs of food handlers.

This law has the purpose of providing educated food safety instructors to train and certify those who prepare food in restaurants so as to reduce as much as possible the major health issues caused by improperly storing, preparing, and holding foor.

One goal is to provide a single platform from which to govern this program preventing overlaps in multiple agencies trying to accomplish the same goal.

The Texas Department of State Health Services, Food Handler Program, along with the State of Texas Certified Food Manager Program, is dedicated to the health, safety, and education of the citizens of the state, educating food service employees in the proper way to produce safe food products for consumers in Texas.

The wave of the future in this issue is HACCP, which is already required in the seafood and juice industries. The latest scientifically based way to be a safe food vendor. For more information on HACCP, see our HACCP and Food Safety page on the top menu.

The Certified Food Manager of the operation is not only a manager, but is legally responsible for overseeing that her employees produce food safely.
